  • I guess it could help to talk to someone familiar with it, maybe they would know the lay of the land. Otherwise it’s a matter of deciphering the architecture of the ancients. Your ability to do that entirely depends on how obscure it all is to you. Many software projects have been born out of the incomprehensibility and unmaintainability of older otherwise-perfectly-functional codebases ☺️

    Thanks, I looked through those ones on modelfkeyboards.com. Using the model M repro for so long has really made me appreciate the significant ‘border’ (by which the board can be easily handled without mashing keys), and I do so like the ctrl-alt gap without the ‘windows key’ (bleh) or the dead keys (bleh).

    The keyboard mod community seems to love extreme spacesaver boards that just look like floating keyswitches but I’ve always sorta hated typing on those long-term since you can’t easily move the board around without mashing keys.

    I think my taste in keyboards is possibly slightly more vanilla than those cyberpunk rigs i see in ergomechkeyboards ;D I would love to get a chance to try out these oneoff alt boards but I get the impression that custom built ones run into the absurd dollars range.
